2 2 Outline Industry trends in US/Europe Relevant research activities at IIT Chicago/TU Eindhoven Scope of the working group paper Next step

3 3 Industry Trends in North America North America small scale (embedded, behind themetered, distributed) generation activities The 18 Month Outlook Report released in February 2014 by the Independent Electricity System Operator of Ontario Canada (IESO) anticipated 1,800MW of embedded solar capacity to be in service in its distribution network during the 18 month period. [source: The New England System Operator (ISO NE) in the 2013 Regional System Plan Report released in February 2014 also forecasted a very strong annual growth rate of 200MW of distributed generation, mostly solar photovoltaic facilities, to be added to its distribution networks until [source: ne.com] The New York Sun Initiative forecasts 3,000 MW distributed solar PV installation in New York system through 2023 [source: sun.ny.gov] These examples are evidence that today s distribution networks, once considered passive, have increasingly evolved to be active in both magnitude and multitude.
